"Stop Making Sense": The Ultimate Concert Film That Converts Fans

As the reissue of Talking Heads' iconic concert film "Stop Making Sense" hits the screens, this article reflects on the band's earlier years and the unique energy they possessed before the film. While "Stop Making Sense" is widely celebrated, the author argues that it marked the loss of something precious and interesting about Talking Heads and David Byrne. They suggest watching a lesser-known concert film from 1980 in Rome to truly appreciate the band's audacious period and the tensions within the group. The article questions whether "Stop Making Sense" represents Byrne's liberation or assimilation into the mainstream, urging us not to forget the band's earlier power and conflict.
